Knights of Sidonia: Love Woven in the Stars (2021) Steven Jones I wouldn't call Love Woven in the Stars the best conclusion the Knights of Sidonia could have received, but ultimately, it balances action and the series' signature idiosyncrasies in a way that should satisfy audiences already invested in the anime.

Revue Starlight: The Movie (2021) Steven Jones Furukawa hones his craft into his sharpest point yet, eschewing linearity and clarity in favor of a sensory whirlwind that whips up its cast into a concatenation of passionate performances, sung in duet and fought in the crucible of the soul.

Bungo Stray Dogs: Dead Apple (2018) Lynzee Loveridge Bungo Stray Dogs: Dead Apple is a great example of what can happen when a series with a larger cast takes the time to find what makes its primary players essential.

Sword of the Stranger (2007) Lynzee Loveridge The movie has long been shared for its high-impact sword-fighting action, but there's plenty to appreciate in its quiet moments too.

B
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal The Movie (2021) Lynzee Loveridge Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal is consistently excellent visually and at times even manages to be emotionally evocative.

Memories (1996) Lynzee Loveridge Magnetic Rose is a masterclass in sci-fi that isn't bogged down in justification for its own existence. It's an effectively creepy ghost story set in a fully-realized sci-fi setting backed by creators at the top of their game.

Project A-ko (1986) Lynzee Loveridge By and large though, Project A-ko is a sci-fi comedy full of impressive action set pieces, mechanical designs, and physical humor that surprisingly still holds up over 30 years later.

B
Bubble (2022) Lynzee Loveridge Bubble is a film with a myriad of fantasy and sci-fi concepts but fails to rise above them to create truly compelling character relationships, a death knell for what is, at its core supposed to be a romance.

Blue Thermal (2022) Reuben Baron It's not as if there's much that's actively bad about the movie, and a likable protagonist goes a long way towards keeping things breezy and enjoyable, but its pleasures are mild, and the experience of watching it is almost instantly forgettable.

One Piece: Stampede (2019) Sam Leach There's a good time at the movies to be had with Stampede, but I don't imagine its one that's going to stand out a few years from now.

Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F (2015) Sam Leach The realization that we're reuniting Goku, Vegeta and Frieza feels ripe for some kind of massive catharsis, but this movie's story is simply not that ambitious.
